V/H/S

It is the stupidest, least frightening or shocking movie I have ever seen. Don't waste your money like we did. The elements of the movie were obvious, it is very slow moving. I don't really find any of it to be what it claims. Each part was predictable. It is an amateur effort, or seems like it is. There isn't anything cutting edge about it, nothing that makes the genre come alive again. It really is somewhat bush league. What hooked us was the warning that was on Comcast's on demand description saying that the movie provoked strong reactions in some viewers. Frankly, that was the most exciting thing about the movie. It reminded me of b slasher movies from the 70s and 80s. If you actually want to be frightened, watch Amatyville Horror, or the Strangers. The found footage thing is very overused and seems trite, as if the director couldn't quite weave together an actual plot. This movie is a complete waste of time and money, and frankly was a chore to watch.

This is one of the best anthologies I've seen in years! It's all filmed 'Found-Footage' style and is directed by different people, including Ti West, Adam Wingard, Joe Swanberg and more. It has six stories that involve almost all types of horror like ghosts, slashers, alien, creature and demons. Each part of the story has it's own appeal and I was in to it from go to whoa. It was bloody, it was scary, it was intriguing, it was intense. It was shocking in some parts and disgusting in others. The stories are "Tape 56" , "Amateur Night" , "Second Honeymoon" , "Tuesday the 17th" , "The Strange Thing That Happened to Emily When She Was Young" & "10-31-98". I couldn't get enough of this movie, it was great. I'm giving it my highest rating so far of 10 out of 10! See it!

First off, thank god I didn't pay for this movie. It is the biggest steaming pile of disjointed crap that I've ever been unfortunate to watch. The 'movie' is basically a few disjointed segments with no creative glue holding them together. A group of thieves break into an old man's house to find him dead watching static, they were supposed to steal a VHS tape. The thieves are clearly intelligent enough to take a video recording of all their crimes and this is the main plot in most of the movie. Long story short they find a bunch of tapes and each of them documents people dying in different paranormal circumstances, the characters of the main plot don't even react to what they're watching, they just stick on tape after tape while chilling out beside the dead guy as people from their group disappear. I'd disappear if I had to watch this again. After the 'main characters' (who barely deserve the term as there was no plot development or revelation amongst them) cop it it cuts to more shoddily filmed crap of a group of kids who end up in a real haunted house for Halloween then get accidentally by a train. I have no idea how people could possibly enjoy this, it's a series of uninventive shorts with no solid connection put together by a weak and predictable plot line. The camera-work is so shaky that I thought the producers must have filmed in Haiti during earthquake season and the acting is horribly substandard. The only good thing about the film was the gore and special effects.
